I would think about trading a 3rd this year even. Possibly look to trade back and get more picks. If stay at 3 and trade for Thomas 1. Buckner 2. Kelly. On paper, you would have a much stronger DL and OL.

I'm sure a few days after he goes elsewhere we'll hear that the Chargers did put in their 'casual inquiring' phone call but nothing more came of it.

Nothing more than giving Kid Spanos extra practice operating the telephone and interacting with the grown-ups.

If Tunsil is there at 3, I have to imagine they think of drafting him and cutting Dunlap if it's around $4.5 million saving in June. But then you are possibly looking at a rookie LT and rookie C on the line. The way I see it though, they will probably go with the line as is with Dunlap at LT, Watt as the projected C, and pick the best available lineman in the 4th or something.

What the f**k is Tom and Kid Spanos doing today? I know they're pretty excited about the WR acquisition yesterday and were probably allowed to stay up later than usual. They probably built a fort in the office, stayed up late watching scary movies and eating Milk Duds.

paired w/Perryman, the two of them would be the heart & soul of our newfound run D.

College ball players ..even Studs.. Sometimes don't have the athletic ability to play at the NFL level...please read his scouting reports...many think he is UDFA material and nothing else.... I however think that sometimes guys like Scoobe will be better pros that other more athtletic players because of their passion...remember an ILB Dolphins took in round 5 a few decades ago..Thomas... Scoobe I believe will be Thomas like in the NFL...

Good post Henry. Guys like Scooby often surprise in the NFL. What do you think of the kid from USC, Tuerk at center? Would you take him over Martin of Notre Dame if they can't get Kelly?

I only like Kelly as a true Center in this draft...

While Tuerk is a good/great OL, and likely to be there early 3 or 4th rd... I think he is more like our old alphabet, very versatile, could play OC, OG and OT... but maybe cant master the Center position as full timer..

Stanley is enough of a gamble ND curse at OL... so Martin - ??? don't push the Irish Luck or lack of when it comes to OL men...

Also like Glasgow but at 6-6 I think he is more of a OT, or OG prospect and should be a good one, but not sold on him as a Center... If we want a sure thing KELLY who has ideal size at 6-4 315 for the position.. to me is the only surefire 1st year starter.. at OC in the draft

There are a couple others who could develop... I am not sure if Wisconsins Voltz entered the draft or went back to school.. but he injured himself, and at one point was the #1 or #2 ranked Center.. I love him, has perfect size for position, has a great last name for the Bolts.. lol... and is a tremendous drive blocker and solid pass pro guy.... Injury (if he came out) will push him to late 5th-through 7th range, and while he may not contribute much in 2016, he could be a draft or UDFA sign and stach in IR for a yr candidate-- who would = drafting a 2nd 3rd rounder in 2017.... kind of like Butler missing rookie yr --and then becoming a stud LB,, before $$ and desire (lack of) turned him into a wet noodle...

By my estimation, the Chargers, after Gates, Clemens, and the new guys in the fold are at about 13.8m of cap space

9.3m of that needs to be accrued for rookies but there is already cap holds of the top 51/53 of close to 4m for guys currently signed s- that's only a net of 5.3m or so

So, with that, that's about 8.5m. Scifres and Robinson still on the books so remains to be seen what happens. Still need DE depth as well as probably another OT for depth like Hairston and a TE, C.

Chargers could still go out and get a few vets on minimum or slightly above minimum level deals.

so basically another trio like yesterdays -- Mebane/Lowry/Benjamin -- could still be brought in if we were to cut Scifres and Robinson...and we would still be able to add 3-4 minimum guys to them... nice... I think the trio from yesterday only counted around $10 mil towards the cap... Gates/Barksdale/Addae/Clemens/Inman/Wiggins made up the rest of the $$ spent yesterday...

not sure the same level of players remain.. (like yesterdays trio) so maybe a CB/OC/ILB/OT/TE could all be brought in for close to the same cap as the TRIO.. would love a FB like Kuhn as well...

fair enough, and.... please share w/us the many draftniks who have slotted Wright as an UDFA ??

personally think we'll be fortunate if he's still sitting there @the top of the third as seem to recall the second tier of LBs going around the middle of the second round ?? again personally, think he's a first round talent @ILB.

Granted, you need 4-5m for the Top 53 plus IR. So, that leaves 4m. But if again, Scifres and Robinson are released, that would create close to 10m of cap space. So, if Wisniewski or another DL or somebody of value is still out there - there is ZERO reason for the Bolts to not puruse that player. At this point, I think I go after two of the following three players:

Sign McClellin to a minimum deal; sign a punter to a minimum deal. Also, seeing the Chargers have four TE's on their roster - if Semisch, Cleveland, or McGrath can block as well or better than Phillips or David Johnson - I think the team has their TE. Those two guys gave the team very little last year so two minimum guys, draft somebody and call TE good.
